I Found This Little Birb Thimble At An Antique Store In Gatlinburg And Fell In Love
Now I just walk around with it on my finger and peck at people because I’m clearly an adult that has their priorities straight

This may have been the cap to a decorative bottle, long since lost. Or a really fancy thimble....

Stumbled On This At A Yard Sale In Pa I Almost Crashed And Couldn’t Turn Around Fast Enough Lol, I Lucked Out It Fits Perfect!
While these days most people might use the term thrift store, the original name, from the UK, is a charity shop. While this really did fit its intended purpose at the time, to raise money for the blind, it’s not, perhaps, the best name one can envision. While we all love low, low prices, shopping at a “charity store” might feel wrong.
Interestingly, most of the first thrift stores were specifically run by charities at the time, as a means to raise money. While this is certainly a good cause, one might not be able to find as many “treasures” while browsing, since, at the time, the practice was underdeveloped.

Found This Really Cool Giant Book Coffee Table On Facebook Marketplace Yesterday. The “Spines” Open As Drawers. Each Book Is Actually Leather Bound
"It’s HUGE and heavy as heck! It’s missing one leg but I think I’ll prop it up with hardcover books"
Lee Henderson 1 year ago
I am missing a leg (amputated 21 years ago) and I never thought of using hardcover books!

Buy some new feet and replace all four. They're not super-expensive and will make a big difference! Love it!
Stephanie Barr 1 year ago
Measure the leg. Bet you can find a replacement leg on line that may or may not match but is better than using beloved books.

Been Meaning To Share My Sons Rocking Dragon. My Father And I Found It On The Facebook Market Place Two Christmas Ago When I Was Pregnant
"By the time I reached out to the seller it was sold. I was so bummed until Christmas morning and found out it was my dad who purchased it. I had no idea he even knew about it. He had no idea I also tried to buy it.
It is made entirely out of wood. The craftsman ship is remarkable. The previous owner said their grandmother won it at a church auction and it had been in their family for a long time and they know nothing about it or who made it. Not signed or marked anywhere. It is now our family’s treasure and will be passed down."
Tamra 1 year ago
Okay, that's cool. "Did you have a rocking horse as a kid?". "B***h, I had a rocking DRAGON".
Dragons Exist 1 year ago
That could easily be over 100 years old — 4 generations ago was around the 1920s, and who knows how long the church had it

My dad was a cabinet maker and instead of a rocking horse he made me a rocking elephant. I would love to have that back.
These days, thrift stores have a lot more going for them. First and foremost, the aforementioned treasures and lucky finds. For a variety of reasons, people give away interesting and valuable items. Perhaps they need cash quickly, or, more commonly, they don’t know the real value. At the same time, vintage shops and thrift stores process so many items that there is no way they can properly evaluate every single piece.

We Moved Into A Vintage 1962 House With Everything Original. This Dollhouse Was Built Into The Cabinets In One Of The Rooms And I Was Gifted It To Keep Safe And Enjoy

I Lost My Boston Terrier, Ollie, To Old Age This Summer And I’m Pretty Sure I Found Him At Goodwill Today As Christmas China
The other major benefit, particularly in the age of fast fashion, is the fact that clothes that might normally end up in a landfill can, instead, be reused. Unfortunately, major clothing brands now move through items and trends at such speed, that the environment is littered with disused garments. Buying from a thrift store is not only, generally, cheaper, but greener as well.

Last Weekend, As I'm Going Into This Antique Store On A Whim, I Jokingly Tell Myself "Maybe There's A Lenox Spice Village In Here Just Waiting For Me To Take It Home."
I explore about 3/4 of the store and look over at a junky shelf of stuff while squeezing past it and ***squeeeeeal*** I spot adorable little ceramic houses thinking "COULD THIS BE IT?"
IT WAS A SPICE VILLAGE, complete with the original paperwork and shelf!!! I immediately run to get a hand basket and gingerly place all the houses inside and sprint to the checkout counter to purchase my FAVORITE antique store purchase EVER!!
It ended up having one jar missing, but I found it on Etsy and snatched it up so fast!
Also, I only have one tiny wall in my tiny kitchen, and would you believe this beauty fits perfectly on it?!?!?

My Greatest Thrift Find Ever. When I Bought It I Only Thought The Dots Would Glow. I Was Shocked When I Turned It On!! Best $10 I Ever Spent. Hope House Foundation Thrift Shop, Norfolk Va
Vintage stores are similarly a good option. While opinions on Ikea may vary, you are more likely to find long-lasting furniture and decorations at a sizable vintage shop. After all, particularly if it’s pretty old, this just means that this item has stood the test of time. After all, a “well-worn” look can actually be preferable in a lot of cases.

There is a cook who does you tube videos that I like to watch but when she chews while tasting with the sound amplified by her mic it's horrendous. She seems totally oblivious to this though and then if she thinks something she made is especially tasty she does this eye pop thing that is irritating as well. I've learned some good cooking tips though so I'm trying to get over it. I can't watch her videos when she goes shopping though because she is just so in her own world with no consideration for those around her. Doesn't blur faces or anything of people that happen to enter her video background by accident. Just carries on filming like she is the only person in the world. It just seems so rude to me.

My Great, Great, Grandmothers Table From Mexico
My great grandmother brought it to TX when she came to the US and she gave it to my grandmother when she and my abuelo bought their first house. My grandma passed it on to my mom when she bought her first house. I've lived all over the US and the table was too delicate to ship but I knew some say I'd get that table. I bought my first house (20 years after my travels) last year when I moved back home and this was one of the first items I moved into the house. My mom and I cried as we brought it in and set it up. My family had so little when they came to the US but this table was always there. To drink cafe con pan and talk chisme (gossip), to cry, to discuss difficult decisions and to celebrate anything and everyone. Oh the stories this table could tell. Makes me so proud to be a part of this long line of strong resilient amazing women

I Found This Old TV When Cleaning Out In The Attic In My Grandma's House
They put in under a blanket to keep it away from dust and I think it has been there for over 40 years. Instead of throwing it away I took it with me and built a bar. You can store 12 bottles in it and turn on the light with the original on/off button hope you like it
Brian Droste 1 year ago
I think it is older than 40 years ago. 40 years ago was only 1984. That TV looks like maybe 1950's or 1960's TV. Tried to Google it p. Couldn't find the decade it came from.
nottheactualphoto 1 year ago
To me, it looks early-to-mid 1970s, maybe very late 1960s. The "slider" controls are what gives it away; that was fashionable around then. I can't quite read the labels on the controls, but they look like they might be in German. And SABA is or was a German brand.

Thought I Saw Massive Vertebrae As I Was Driving Home Today
Whipped around after about half a mile of “I need to know” repeating in my brain; my husband was mildly annoyed when I told him what I had seen, but I knew I wouldn’t be able to rest.
Guess what.
ETA: They’re massive vertebrae. Husband wouldn’t let me put garbage bones in the car with our babies, because he’s a square.
Edit two: I have texted him to hurry home so I can get them. He is not thrilled, but I am so happy to see that I’m not the only one who thinks this is the coolest stuff ever.
Edit three: kids are loaded into the car, keep your fingers crossed that the remains remain!
Edit four, the final edit (?): It took some driving and some bonus tablet time for my 3yo, but your girl got not only the bones, but a full on spine section!!! My only regret was not having a small enough flat head on hand to remove the plaque, and the box, which was large and on castors, was dry rotted and full of spiders (I like spiders, but this was too many to put in my car).
Edit five: Who is finding us “Trash Bones” members only jackets?
Edit six: Husband has seen the light and majesty in the bones, and is even excited about how much fun the kids are going to have! He’s a keeper.
Edit seven: Couldn’t walk by my Bonehenge without hastily stacking it up after grabbing the mail. Photo attached!
Edit eight: I was told to make a hashtag, so...
Edit nine: Can’t stop thinking about the plaque. Gonna drive by and see if it’s still there.
Edit ten: I GOT THE PLAQUE!!!!!

This lamp looks like a reproduction. The original Tiffany dragonfly lamp can sell for half a million dollars. My parents bought a "Tiffany" lamp from an antique store that the owner swore was real. It was a few hundred dollars. By coincidence, I happened to know a friend who made these lamps (Chadwick-Ling Studios) and he wrote a letter to the shop owner describing the materials and explaining why it is a "repro". .

I spent countless hours of my childhood watching reruns of the classic 60s Addams Family show and reading the comics and I wanted so badly to live in their house. I often think that's where my quirky design style as an adult comes from. Usually I see the newer models for sale, which are nice, but when I came across this beauty on fb marketplace, I practically squealed with joy when I realized it was the same style from the show. The woman I purchased it from looked at me a bit strangely when I tried to explain my excitement over it, but I knew you weirdlings would understand lol
Now I just need to learn to knit 6 arm sweaters for Pugsley's pet, Aristotle"

Got This Unusual Lightbulb As Bonus To A $5 Lamp At Value Village In Fairbanks

That is a vintage Aerolux Light Bulb. It uses the same principle as a flicker-flame light bulb but with floral elements instead of flame-shaped ones.

I Found An Entire Bag Of Babies At A Local Thrift Store
Of course I bought them and put them in a bowl. I didn't know what to do with them, but they became my bird's favourite toy (he would toss them out of the bowl with glee)

These are part of a bulk buy of babies that can be spread around the house. Usually to aggravate the other residents of the house! Hide them sneakily and they will keep finding them for years.

Christening party, baby shower... I was thinking "King cake", like they serve at Mardi Gras. I like the hide them around the house idea too though, take them to your friends' and hide them. I used to do that with the 25 cent gumball ninja toys you used to be able to get, that come in different colors. I'd hide them in friends' houseplants or whatever.

so i love Coney Island hard root beer. the company doesnt make it anymore but you can still find it on line. i went thrifting and saw some heavy coney island hard root beer glasses still in original packaging and a empty bottle that contained the hard root beer at one point. bought them and came home. went to put them on my glasses shelf and discovered that the large bottle was in fact not empty. i thought the weight of the box was due to the glasses. nope. the hard root beer had never been opened and they sold it to me over the counter. best find ever.
